OP 'Wer keine fremde Sprache spricht,
kennt seine Muttersprache nicht.'
J.W.v.Goethe
Roughly translated:
'He who speaks no foreign language,
does not know his mother tongue'
Do you think he wrote that intended for those who wish to study their own language in depth without studying others, or did he mean it in more general sense?
